  1. Nurses, Will you work OT for straight pay?

    natasha700 replied to klondike's topic in General Nursing

    Oh hell no! We work with low wages as it is. That OT really helps many of us out. Plus that is the incentive of me working 12 hour shifts if it was straight time oh they can forget it. Nursing will...

  2. Agency Nursing?

    natasha700 replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    :balloons: I can tell you this I have been doing agency nursing since working as a LPN/LVN and for the most part I love it. With all the political turmoil full time employees have to deal with it,...

  3. "some doubt"

    natasha700 replied to daniela's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It really depends on what facility you work in. Some have sets days like even and odd or every day. Of course if their temp is not stable you don't give a bath. I personally don't like to bathe...

  4. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    natasha700 replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    I can work with anyone. I don't care what ethnic background you are just be fair and respectful.. I recently resigned from a facility because of the lack of management support. I find it very rude...

  5. Medication Aides

    natasha700 replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    CMA or wanna be will never eliminate nurses! It is the frugalness of longterm facilities that won't pay for REAL nursing

  6. Medication Aides

    natasha700 replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    Since you are not I will say this. When you worked as hard as many of us on this thread to obtain licensure having someone pass your meds is not going to cut it. In case you haven't notice there is...

  7. Medication Aides

    natasha700 replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    I can't for the life of me understand why someone would try to carve out a piece of what a nurse does and make it legal! There is more to just giving meds. There is a thought process involved. I agree...

  8. Pay Scale?

    natasha700 replied to NICU RN wannaB's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    RN's can make a small fortune if you save your money and don't live above your means! Right now I make various rates because I do on call and registry only. Full time pay just doesn't cut for me...

  9. Thinking of quiting after 2 years

    natasha700 replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear that. It seems like good things come to an end. I just can't stomach full time positions anymore it seems like full time get screwed over worse than any status! It is getting...

    I understand that in some countries RN make no money and the conditions are worse than here. So coming to America may seem a dream compare to the

  12. IV Toradol?

    natasha700 replied to OZ88's topic in Pain Management

    I found that it worked better than morphine too. It was a great pain reliever. It worked very well with inflammatory pain. My md ordered toradol and it did not take long for the pain to be relieved...

  14. 4th of July, no time and half

    natasha700 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    That is not right. Seem like every year our employers try and find a way not to pay for holidays especially the night shift. That is why I don't schedule myself any holidays unless it is required....

  18. nurse practitioner or RN?

    natasha700 replied to koan's topic in General Nursing

    What an eye opener. I always assumed you must have a masters degree to be a practitioner so I did some searching and found an Ob GYN PN you did not have to have a masters. As far as being above and RN...

  22. Adn or BSN to be a NICU nurse?

    natasha700 replied to Dream2BeNicUNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I know in California that is not a requirement at all. What does a BSN have to do with NICU? ADN nurses are just as capable. Both nurses work hand and hand bringing much knowledge to the area. BSN...

  24. Stable Classes

    natasha700 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would like to be the first to say that STABLE class was the best class I have ever been to relating to caring for the neonates. This class should be the hallmark for any nurse that is in nursery,...
